Residents of Tijuana are advised of a potential reduction in public transportation services on Halloween night. Officials from the transportation department have noted that there may be fewer buses running, urging those in need of transport to plan accordingly.
In celebration of Halloween and Día de Muertos, a ‘terrifying’ relay race is being organized in Tijuana, alongside a classic horror film series in Tecate.
